fter Bucky tried to kill Stark I'm now of the opinion, "frick Cap and his boyfriend." I hope Iron Man beats the living shite out of both of 'em.

Can't see why an arms dealer turned thrill junky who made a murderbot which almost wiped out the planet would have someone who wanted to kill them.

They have the firepower although we don't know where the Russo brothers will go with SW's power. In some versions of the comics she is near unstoppable.

Iron Man vs Cap - pretty even
Black Panther vs Bucky - BP
Vision vs SW - Vision based on powers from AoU
BW vs Hawkeye - BW, we saw this in The Avengers
That leaves Rhodey vs Ant-Man and Falcon - Rhodey has no chance here.

Iron Man vs Cap - pretty even

This is only even because they keep giving Cap more and more power, more than he should have, while nerfing Stark's suits.

Iron Man took a tank shell like it was nothing, went 1 on 1 with Thor, and took down the Hulk. IRL Iron Man wipes the floor with Cap.

If we are going by comic versions, shouldn't Scarlet Witch just wipe the floor with all of them? Even if she was the only one on her team?

well hopefully the russo's don't puss out like whedon did with AOU

Of course we all know that in the long run they will get past their differences and combine against an outside foe. (Or will they?).

EDUCATED GUESS SPOILERS THAT I HAVE NO BASIS IN FACT FOR


















I think the events of Civil War will play up the events of Infinty War Part I. I think Tony's stance will have far reaching consequences on the ability of Earth to fight Thanos in Part I. Remember Tony's vision of the broken Avengers and Steve blaming Tony for the failure? Here's what I think happens:
- Civil War plays out with both sides surprisingly evenly matched until one team member is gravely hurt or killed. Steve surrenders to stop the violence, and is then seemingly assassinated publicly, ala the comics. Tony takes this hard.
- Chris Evans has said he wants to direct. This gives him a break to do other stuff. In the meantime, Bucky takes up the mantle of Captain America in Steve's absence. Sebastian Stan is signed on for a bunch of movies.
- What will be interesting to see is how they play Tony. I could see them making Tony director of new SHEILD and having him hell bent on proving himself right, doing stupid things leading up to the failure of the Avengers to stop Thanos. Or, I could see them playing him distraught at Steves death and having the Avengers fall apart, so Thanos is able to crush them individually.
- Meanwhile, we know Ruffalo is going to be in Ragnorok, so Hulk has evidently gone to Asgard. Thor and Tony already have a contentious relationship, so I could see those two checking out of Earth for a while.
- I still say the Guardians show up in Infinty War Part II. Probably bring Steve back for that one as well in an all out battle. And Steve will lift and use Mjornir.

Team Cap.

I rewatched Avengers 2 this weekend. I absolutely love that movie. I think it is better than the first Avengers and the best Marvel movie yet, though Man of Steel remains my favorite comic book movie ever. Batman vs Superman has a chance to unseat it based on the trailers.

Comic book readers know someone will die but will they really do it in a mainstream movie? I mean casual fans like continuity and killing off a Chris Evans or RDJ will make people upset. Maybe they just arrest and place in a holding cell in the movie in order to not upset people.
